With the 2025 NFL Draft a few hours away, the New Orleans Saints have zeroed in on their selection at No. 9 overall. On the heels of the draft, there has been reporting New Orleans would not let Dart get past them.
The issue for the New Orleans Saints is whether or not Dart will be there when they are on the clock. Dart has been flying up draft boards in recent weeks. Shedeur Sanders has been slipping. That means Dart could be the second quarterback drafted later tonight. Will Dart call “The Big Easy” home tonight?
Will Dart Be a Good Fit With the New Orleans Saints?
Dart is coming off a solid season with the Ole Miss Rebels. He could be a great fit with the Saints because of the injury question marks surrounding Quarterback Derek Carr. There is uncertainty regarding his status for the 2025 season with a shoulder injury that could require season-ending surgery. The New Orleans Saints will not have much clarity regarding Carr’s availability in a few hours.
That means the Saints must decide the quarterback position before knowing if their franchise quarterback will be ready to play. General Manager Mickey Loomis has stated in recent days, that Carr’s status will not impact the team’s draft plans.
Final Thoughts
It will be interesting to see if the New Orleans Saints can land Dart tonight. With the team having their sights set on him, they will need to ensure he is available at their pick. As is always the case, draft plans can fall by the wayside. The New Orleans Saints know that better than anyone. New Orleans was reportedly eyeing Patrick Mahomes at No. 10 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. Then NFL history changed forever when Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs traded up to No. 9 overall stealing Mahomes from the Saints. The rest is history.
